Whirran,

I do not know why you wish to make private affairs public. Misrepresenting what has happened will not earn you favors with the Theocracy.

You were ousted because of a series of actions and statements that demonstrated no regard for the Theocracy's purpose or its citizens.

First, you attempted to interfere with an interrogation of an enemy Duirani by a Viceroy. You assaulted the Viceroy in the Duirani's defense and stated unequivocally to me that you would kill the Viceroy to protect the Duirani because your King's followers are more important than Spinesreach.

Second, you abused your powers and your rank by repeatedly cityfavouring Noube with the intent to do so until he received multiple ranks simply for the reason of "making him a higher rank than Teeh to make her mad." You boasted of this to me, and did not care about what it meant for all of the other citizens who have to earn their favours.

Third, you decided to kill citizens within Spinesreach repeatedly in a tantrum. When asked to stop, you refused. When citydisfavoured, you citydisfavoured me, the Regent, back. You then declared that you would not serve the city in anything anymore and that you had never been interested in the city and merely belonged to it because of your wife. You were ousted because you refused to back down or agree to follow our laws.

When you approached me seeking to return, you did not offer so much as an apology for any of these acts, nor would you agree to not do such again in the future.

Because your commitment to the city solely because of your wife appeared to become a problem in the past, when you threw tantrums and were unwilling to follow commands due to lack of care about the city itself and its purpose, I asked that you state -why- you wish to serve the Sky's Directive with a reason other than "because I wish to be with my wife" or "because I am angry at Duiran" and you were unwilling or unable to state one. I never stated that the Directive was irrelevant. I stated that I needed more than simply a desire to serve the Directive right this moment because Duiran and Enorian slew you and you want revenge. That will simply inevitably lead to the same problems as before.

Even now, you cite fighting alongside Spinesreach and Bloodloch for the totem as if it was some grand act of service, when you made quite clear at the time you did so solely because Duiran and Enorian slew you.

You know as well as anyone that above all, the Theocracy is a Theocracy and its Regent's word is law. That you would tell half-truths publically to attempt to defame me reflects poorly on you and evidences the same hubris that led to your ousting.

The Spires are about more than you, Whirran. If you are unwilling to place anything before your own whims, that is your problem, not ours, and we are not a tool to serve your own temper.

In service to the Throne,

Sheryni Nebre'seir
Regent
